use the same account to enter all meets run through DirectAthletics.
**NOTE ABOUT MEN'S AND WOMEN'S ACCOUNTS: You control only one gender at time, so you will complete the below steps for your Men, and
then switch to your Women's team and repeat the process (or vice versa). The team you are controlling is listed on the blue navigation bar across
the top of your account, for example:
Sport: Track & Field Team: Guilford (M)
This indicates that you are controlling the Guilford MEN'S team (M=MEN). To switch to your Women's team, you would select "Guilford (W)".
STEP 2--SETTING UP YOUR ONLINE ROSTER

add athletes, click the green "Add Athletes" link at any time. To delete or edit athletes, check the box
to the left of each athlete(s) and then click the red "Delete Selected" link or the blue "Edit Selected"
